CONFORMITY DECLARATION KCI Hoists corp. Ruununmyllyntie 13 FIN-13210 Hämeenlinna. Finland NIF A-20-036.018 Phone: +358 (0)20 427 11 FAX: +358 (0)20 427 3399 And in its name, Mr. Ari Kiviniitty, Managing Director, declares, conscious of complete responsibility, that the product Remote Control KCI Hoists Corp.
1 DESCRIPTION The RADS11 and RADF13 push-button transmitter type, radio remote control systems, are designed for the remote control of hoists and cranes, and are particularly suitable for applications when the operator needs to be able to choose the best location from which to carry out an operation. The system consists of a transmitter for selecting commands and a receiver that is connected to the electrical system of the machine to be operated.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS These instructions must be read carefully in order to install and use the radio control system properly and to keep it in perfect working condition and to reduce the risks of misuse. Do not use this system on machines for the lifting of persons or in potentially explosive atmospheres. Any use other than that specified in this manual is dangerous. The following instructions must be strictly adhered to.
After use, never leave the equipment ON-state. Always use the transmission key or the STOP button to avoid accidentally activating functions. Do not use the radio control system when visibility is limited. Avoid knocking, bumping or dropping the transmitter. Do not use the equipment if failure is detected. 2 INSTALLATION 2.1 The BC60K battery charger Connect the charger to the power source using the power source and the cable supplied. The red LED, in the middle, should light up indicating power ON.
2.2 Receiver Make sure that the crane is stopped for the entire duration of the installation process, keep the work area free and wear protective clothing. Park the crane and position at end stop, (if these are not available use appropriate signs), at a suitable distance so that other cranes do not hit it on the same runway. Check the power-supply voltage and turn off the main switch.
Figure 3 Receiver to Power Electric Circuit connection The contacts of KSTOP1 and KSTOP2 (KSTOP1+KSTOP2=STOP) relays are in series and must be connected to the main contactor coil circuit. The K2/START is activated once the start-up command is held down. The K1/SAFETY relay is a security relay which is activated when any of the other function control relay are activated. The receiver is a class II device, according EN50178, containing a functional earth connection.

2.3 Starting-up Proceed with caution; Incorrect connections may lead to unforeseeable movements on starting-up. Remember that the receiver has several voltage-powered circuits. Even when the receiver’s power supply has been cut off, there is still a risk of electrical shocks. Once the receiver has been connected, disconnect the power supply to the motors (if possible), for example, by removing the fuses and power on the receiver. The receiver will enter into the SCANNING mode while the transmitter is off.
Figure 6 RADS11 and RADF13 transmitters On receiving a signal from the transmitter, the receiver will enter into the WORKING mode. The following LEDs will light up on the receiver: POWER: HARDOK: SIGNAL: DATA: ID: ON, indicating that the power supply is correct. ON, indicating the absence of defects on the board. Flashing ON, indicate that it is receiving a RF signal at the working frequency. Flashing ON each time a good frame is received without caring about ID.
After pushing the START button, STOP relays will be activated. K2/START and K12/HORN relays are activated only when the start button is pushed. Relays K13 and K14 on RADF13 system will be activated to the corresponding state of the Hoist Selector. Push any of the transmitter’s motion buttons and its corresponding relay should be activated. The safety relay K1/SEC will also be activated. Check to make sure all other motions work in this way.
3 USE To ensure correct use of the equipment, follow the instructions below: Make sure the transmitter you are going to use is the correct one, identifying the hoist/crane on the identification label. Attach the strap to the transmitter unit. Its use is recommended to prevent the equipment from falling. Install a charged battery, turn the key-switch and activate the transmitter.
4 HOW TO ACCESS TO THE HOIST CONDITION MONITORING UNIT IN RADF13 SYSTEM. SERVICE MODE. 4.1 General Description of Service Mode For RADF13 systems, there is a special “Service Mode” of operation for maintenance and set up of the Hoist Condition Monitoring Unit via radio. This unit is connected to the receiver RAD-RF by a serial data communication CL20mA.
While the system is in service mode the “envelope” icon in the display will be switched ON. (Figure 8). Figure 8 LCD Display in Service Mode 4.3 Keys for moving within the Menus. The keys for moving within the menu are the following (Figure 9): UP: Button that simulates the Up Key. Up button. ▲ DOWN: Button that simulate the Down Key. Down button. ▼ ESC: Button that simulate the Esc Key. Left button. ◄ ENTER: Button that simulate the Enter Key. Right button.
4.6 Exiting Service mode. There are two ways of exiting this mode. Pressing the STOP button. (The transmitter will be switched OFF and the receiver will switch to standby mode). If the system is switched ON again and the system was switched OFF in a menu within the service mode, when receiving the new frames in normal operation, first of all the following message may appear: “EXITING SERVICE MODE”. The receiver will send as many Escape messages as needed to return to the load message.
5 MAINTENANCE 5.1 Precautions This equipment is designed for use in an industrial environment. However, we recommend you follow the instructions below to extend the life span of your remote control set: Use the strap provided with the transmitter to prevent the transmitter from falling. Do not clean the transmitter with solvents or pressurised water. Use a damp cloth or soft brush. Use and recharge the batteries regularly. Check every day that the STOP button is working.
5.3 Locating Break-downs The transmitter and receiver both have status monitoring LEDs that help to identify irregularities. The most common signals are contained in the tables below: 5.3.1 TRANSMITTER LED Green double flashing Solid green Red flashing Red double flashing Solid red MEANS Transmitter ready for start-up Transmitter transmitting normally Battery level low Transmitter cannot start up because a manoeuvre command is present Transmitter failure 5.3.
